Yum!
Mom’s version is with homemade apricot jam filling and she makes another filling with a mixture of ground walnuts, sugar and honey.
No calories of course. FOFL
I am glad that it make you hungry...LOL
I wandered into a whole world of bakers that includes every country the other night.
LOL, some I did not understand, but could pick up their love of baking.
Maybe I considered myself a baker once, and understood them....we will bake around the clock and feed the family a peanut butter sandwich, for dinner if given the chance.
Maybe I inherited it, once, when the kids were about 12, I was sick, in the bed sick.
My mother decided to come and help out, as I was not able to cook.
She considered her self to be a pie maker, [I am not], so she came and made me all kinds of pies, LOL and fed the family hot dogs for dinner.......with pie for desert of course.
When we were kids, she made some kind of fried pie, with a cocoa/sugar mixture in it, not a cream pie, and not with nuts and coconut, a cheap, make the kids happy desert.
Guess they were good, as I have never found the recipe and I am still looking for it.
She also made the dried fruit pies, but that would be natural, as we did not have electric or refrigerators until I was 10 or so.
I do hope you are getting your mothers recipes, while you still can, as I promise you, the older you get, the more you will wish that you had done so.
